Sell monthly Claude setups to one type of local business
Pick one kind of business, such as dentists or real estate offices, and set Claude up to handle their most repetitive writing, like follow-ups, listing descriptions, or review replies. They pay a monthly fee for updates and new tasks.
The hard part: learning one niche well enough to spot its repetitive writing, then selling to busy owners who have never heard of Claude Skills.
Who pays
Owners of one type of local business pay a monthly retainer. You install a Claude Skill (a saved set of instructions, examples, and brand voice that Claude follows for one task), train their team, and keep adding new skills. agenteyeAI says one unnamed builder is at $8k/mo with 5 clients. That is a secondhand claim, not checked, so set your own price as a suggestion.
How to build it
Pick one niche and one task
Choose a niche like dentists, real estate offices, or online stores. Talk to three to five owners and find the writing task their staff repeats most, such as follow-up emails, ad copy, listing descriptions, or review replies.
Gather their examples and voice
Collect ten or more of the client's best past examples of that task, plus notes on their tone, words they use, and words they avoid.
Build and test the skill
Write the skill as clear instructions plus the examples, following Anthropic's Skills format, and test it in Claude on real cases until the output needs little editing.
Install it and train the team
Add the skill to the client's own Claude account and run a 30-minute session showing staff how to use it.
Charge a monthly retainer
Bill the retainer through Stripe Payment Links or a Stripe subscription. It covers keeping the skill updated.
Add a new skill each month
Ask clients what else eats their time and build the next skill, either as part of the retainer or as an upsell.
